Minty Fresh

Listerine and Eye-Drops

By Fraser YoungPublished about a month ago • 1 min read

Just one more

You won’t have another

I promised my mother

She’ll know you lied

She’ll know you tried

So if I sneak one, they won’t know

It’ll be hard, but with the

Mouthwash for your breath

Mouthwash for my breath

They won’t notice

They always notice


If you have it now

You’ll be okay by morning 

But, If I’m late one more time

One more mistake on the line

You’re always alright in the morning


Drops for your eyes

It aids in all my lies

Freshen yourself up

Deodorant shower

Lynx Africa Power


You’re okay to drive

Get an uber

No - The mouthwash in the glove

Isn’t -

- If you just go steady, kind of - enough.


Made it home

You forgot your phone

Back outside

Guess whose waiting

Guess who’s calling


But it’s okay.

Your breath is minty fresh.

Your eyes are bright.

You're in the clear.

I’m the only voice that you can hear.


Everything will be alright, as long as you listen to me.
